Overview

  • SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins and CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig will lead a one-hour session from 10–11 a.m. ET at the CFTC’s Washington headquarters.
  • The program will be open to the public, livestreamed on the SEC website, and feature a fireside chat moderated by journalist Eleanor Terrett.
  • In a joint statement, the chairs said crypto firms have faced unclear, misaligned boundaries rooted in legacy jurisdictional silos.
  • The event is framed as part of President Trump’s drive for U.S. crypto leadership, alongside Selig’s new CFTC “future-proof” initiative.
  • Context for the shift: SEC crypto enforcement actions fell to 13 in 2025 from 33 in 2024, with Atkins emphasizing targeted cases and launching a Crypto Task Force.
